QatarEnergy secures US LNG from Cheniere
Qatar Energy, the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, has signed one of the largest LNG purchase agreements in history with American company Cheniere, to buy 4 million tons annually of gas for up to 33 years until 2054. The supply will be distributed between the Sabine Pass facility in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi plant in Texas, under an agreement that links the price to the Henry Hub index and includes an option to increase production capacity to over 50 million tons annually after expansion. This move comes amid disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz due to military tensions between the United States and Iran, through which about 20% of global gas supplies pass, prompting Qatar to seek alternative sources and supply routes to enhance its resilience in the global market. The agreement aims to diversify Qatar’s supply sources and reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, with expectations to expand Qatar’s portfolio and benefit from markets in Africa and beyond through long-term deals.
